0205-0415/09-26-2023 started off -- again -- quiet, possible B&E Dispatcher-side hash coming at 0227. A couple later, a breaking D-2 got on the air with somebody about something at BY. I had gained enough elevation on Rte. 2 WB that the 0242 fulfillment of Form D G201 was clear. A long spell of radio silence now followed.
At 0236, the 333 WLs were dark, likewise the 334s and 335s.
Up Da Hill the 345s were dark, and the yard looked too much as it had on 09-22 and 09-20. Mebbe it was just a case of similar strings of cars. Or mebbe not.
Over at the Wilkins Road dogleg, a closer look was taken than on 09-22. There was a DS trash on 2, anything to the E blocked by a building. Seems a strange place for a set-off/set-out. At 0306, the 346 WL was at Stop, naught visible E.
At 0301, the 333 WLs were dark. The EB staggers for 330 were at Approach, but all else dark, up to and including the EB staggers for Derby at 0340, the tie-and-stone status unchanged just E of the platform.
At 0334, the FI-1/2 parking spot had been MT, " for the W end of East Side, the T coaches continuing to rust in place on the W end of West Side. At 0337, there had been some P&W Road hash, more to follow.
At 0344 and 0344 came Road-side hash, 0350 providing some Dispatcher-side hash. FI-2?
Quiet resumed until 0406 when M427 called out to D-1 x2. I waited in the car for developments only to hear 0407 and 0409 Yard-Channel hash, followed at 0410 by P&W Road tones and more Yard-Channel hash.
0413 started a P&W St. Albans Dispatcher/M427 convo. They wanted to go Barbers to Worcester with the 466 and 389 and 72 cars -- 33x39 -- for 5577 tons and 4432', St. A giving the OK. The crew mentioned their OD time as 0245.
